My first priority is to make my clients feel like the best version of themselves in front of my camera. Nothing else matters if they don’t like the way they look in their photos. I will direct you through fashion inspired poses, I will place you in the best light and pose you in the most flattering angles. I work closely with my wedding planners and couples to understand the overall vision of their wedding, so that everything from the styling of my flat lays to the selection of their portrait locations all live within that color story and desired aesthetic.

Editorial is the word that is most commonly associated with my work. I want my couples images to look like they are stepping off the pages of Vogue Magazine or Harper's Bazaar. I am inspired by fashion and romantic, Old World– imagery that's authentic & timeless. Throughout your wedding day we will capture a variety of posed images as well as photojournalistic (in the moment) images to create a beautifully curated story of your day.

Girl, I LOVE Pinterest too! Absolutely you can share your board with me, in fact I encourage you to. I have been using Pinterest for years as a tool in my studio. What better way to see exactly what my bride & groom want their photographs to look like. I will even have your board saved on my phone for your wedding day. That way we can use it as inspo throughout wedding day portraits.

I love this question. The photography industry is a unique field, you do not have to have any requirements to call yourself a photographer. You will see the same story on many different photography websites that one day the photographer picked up a camera and decided to become a photographer. Now don't get me wrong there are many talented self taught photographers out there. However that is not my story. I am a formally trained photographer, I have an associates degree in photography & fine art. Prior to opening my own studio in 2007 I worked for a prominent commercial photographer and a local wedding photographer. I also worked in a professional photography lab developing film & print. Photography has always been my passion and career path. I love that I get to bring all of my experience and love for this art form to every one of my weddings.

My wedding is in Buffalo, but I live out of town. How do you work with out of town couples?
Yes I do. Wedding day logistics and timelines are so very important for the wedding day. When you book with me you will receive my Wedding Day Agenda planner. This is an online form that you will fill out as you plan your wedding day. This form will walk you through a typical wedding day. We will work together to create your own perfect wedding day timeline. It is very important to have the right amount of time for each event throughout the day. The last thing you want to feel on your wedding day is rushed. I will help you to create a timeline of events, photo locations, family photos and shot lists.

I have many out of town couples, I have a simple client management system that is perfect for my wedding couples that live remotely. My system is completely digital, your contract, invoice & payments, wedding agenda and questionnaires are all done online. I also offer Zoom or FaceTime calls with my couples.

Your wedding package total will be divided up into four installments. The first installment is your wedding deposit and will book your wedding date with a signed contract. The remaining three installments will be spaced out equally leading up to your wedding day. Instalments can be made online with a credit card or PayPal account, by check, money order or cash. There is no additional charge for credit card payments.
(Tip: I do recommend asking all wedding vendors if they have a credit card processing fee)

Yes I do! I am also a preferred vendor for many of the venues in Buffalo. Most venues will ask for your wedding vendors insurance certificates prior to your wedding. Be sure to only book wedding vendors with liability insurance.

Nobody wants dark underexposed photographs. I use an intelligent lighting system to give my images a pop of light. These lights are small, wireless and radio connected. They only go off when I press my shutter button to take an image. It will feel as if an on camera flash was going off. You won't even know that they are there. They are balanced to the ambient light in the room, they will not take away from uplighting or candle light. However they do make a HUGE difference in image quality, you will not have dark or under exposed images with me! I also use these lights to capture dramatic night shots at the end of your wedding night

Every wedding day is different, some couples get more images due to the amount of people in their wedding party or at their event. On average my couples get anywhere from 1000 images to 1800. The images you receive are curated edited images. I go through each image, I will cull, crop, color correct, and place my proprietary filters. You will receive your final images in two formats, one way will be on your online private wedding gallery and the other will be on your crystal USB. All delivered images are high resolution and do not have any watermarks on them. They are yours to print, post and share. Full wedding galeries are delivered within 10 weeks of your wedding date. You will receive a handful of my favorites a couple weeks after your wedding.

The $200 print credit is a credit that you can use on any of my wedding products that I offer in the studio. I offer custom wedding albums, parent albums, fine art prints, custom framed prints, canvas wraps and many more heirloom products. Digital images are wonderful to have but I strongly believe that printed images are forever.
